This outstanding tuba is the product of a joint effort between B&S’s Germany-based research and development team and its artisans in Beijing, China.

Traditional roots with contemporary appointments
Built upon classic tuba design concepts, the 795 tuba delivers a rich, punchy sound with plenty of sonic color. But thanks to its improved resistance, ergonomics, and responsiveness, the 795 is in a tier above the rest. With a yellow brass body and a 19-inch bell that delivers generous projection, this tuba offers a leisurely playing experience with a heavy tonal core. The 795 also sports a hand-adjustable first valve slide for quick and easy tuning adjustments.
4 + 1 valve system yields exceptional playability
Equipped with a combined total of five valves, the 795 has everything players need to tackle complex orchestral repertoire. Its four front-facing pistons provide a familiar feel for most players graduating from their intermediate or school-issued horns, while the fifth valve gives you access to the full range. It’ll also give you numerous alternative fingering options for better intonation and improved agility. And the cherry on top? You’ll have spectacular intonation every step of the way.
